I liked a few of the VSOs that were posted earlier and wanted to share two of my more recent creations.

This mount screws into an exposed 2x4 and lets me get my Synology DS418, its power brick, and UPS (APC BE600M1) off a table and into a lower dust area of my basement.

I’ll upload the STLs to printables if anyone is interested, but be warned that the parts are fairly large.

In the spirit of showing parts under unflattering lighting, here’s (nearly) the same angle with a different light source.

      Thanks! It’s Polymaker ASA in blue.

      I bought two 3 kg spools of it because it was fairly cheap (it’s always fairly cheap, but it was also on sale for $50), comes on a cardboard spool, and it prints fairly well. The vast majority of my prints are functional and I don’t really care what color they are.

      That said, my surface finish is a out 100 times better on my Voron than it was on my old i3 clone. I suspect this is because my extruder doesn’t have a grub screw and is geared so it doesn’t rely on the stepper micro stepping. If you go back a little in my post history you can see an A/B between the two. If you have a direct drive ungeared extruder it might be worth looking at upgrading if you want to improve surface finish.
